I had the exact same a couple of years ago. However, another interesting that happened is that since then, I've also been aware of how far we've come in just that time. Like, yes, our bicycle infrastructure was good, but it's still continually improving with renewed insights and refined legislation. For example, the city I live in has really doubled down on the bicycle (and walking) being the primary method of transportation. So not only are all road maintenance jobs required to comply with updated requirements, but roads are being actively transformed to make them more bicycle-friendly as part of a multi-year infrastructure plan. Which just goes to show: you can make great strides by improving the situation iteratively.
